Written by a DB2 developer for DB2 developers !
This book will show you how to develop DB2 applications using embedded SQL, IBM's Call Level Interface, and/or DB2's low-level Application Programming Interface (API) functions. Approximately 350 C and C++ example programs are provided in this book and all can be downloaded from my web site (http://www.ntwrks.com/~rsanders). All example programs have been compiled and tested on both the OS/2 and the AIX operating system. I worked closely with several DB2 developers at IBM's lab in Toronto, Canada to ensure that the information presented in this book is both accurate and complete.
